The U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP), under the umbrella of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), has purportedly partnered with AI tech firm Fivecast to deploy social media surveillance software that, according to its proprietor, can detect “problematic” emotions of social media users and subsequently report them to law enforcement for further action.
According to a post on pjmedia.com, “Outlet 404, through FOIA requests, uncovered various Fivecast marketing documents elaborating on its software’s utility for law enforcement.”
404’s report on said documents stated:
Customs and Border Protection (CBP), part of the Department of Homeland Security, has bought millions of dollars worth of software from a company that uses artificial intelligence to detect ‘sentiment and emotion’ in online posts…
CBP also allegedly told 404 Media that it is “using technology to analyze open-source information related to inbound and outbound travelers who the agency believes may threaten public safety, national security, or lawful trade and travel. In this case, the specific company called Fivecast also offers ‘AI-enabled’ object recognition in images and video, and detection of ‘risk terms and phrases’ across multiple languages.
Who isn’t in favor of protecting national security? And Lord knows the Biden administration should do more something to vet and restrict “inbound travelers” at our southern border.
And yet…one is tempted to ask: What could go wrong? If the government is going to utilize surveillance software to more precisely ascertain our sentiments and emotions on social media, and then determine if they are “problematic,” how else will it use it? What other methods will it deploy to keep us from stepping out of line? And who determines what is “problematic,” anyway? (Okay, that’s an easy one. The elites that seek to utterly control us see as problematic any sentiment, emotion, or thought that could possibly be construed...

I always assume FR is monitored by the feds anyway.
F You, Feds.
Come and get me.
Minority Report…
Scrutinizing all the wrong people since 9/11/01.
A loose group of independent, individualistic people who believe in personal liberty, freedom, and the US Constitution would clearly need to be monitored by a collective whose believe is in group “rights”, hates the US Constitution, abhors individualism and liberty, and embraces all forms of totalitarianism.
They’re coming for you, Winston! Big Brother is watching you.
Thank you, Big Brother, for protecting us from the dangers of wrongthink.
Thought crime surveillance. Quite Stasi. Quite Maoist. Quite Stalinist. Quite Nazi. Quite Fascist. Quite Democrat.
It’s like they’ve listened to Shinedown’s recent album and are taking cues from Planet Zero. Unreal.
They greatly fear a spontaneous uprising of angry patriots.
There is nothing they can do about it if it is REALLY big.
Love of God, Country, traditional family, all considered “problematic”.
Also, being conservative, Republican, believing there are only two sexes, not worshiping gays, wanting government to serve the people while being small and unobtrusive, desiring equal justice for all...
That’s a safe assumption.
So will this be used only on Americans, or will the surveillance targets include illegal aliens claiming to be refugees? If a "refugee" violates a government overseer's sense of proper thought, will the refugee be removed from the country before their 7-year-out court date?
If you are posting conservative political speech on social platforms such as Facebook and Twitter, be prepared for a call from the anti free speech police.
Now would be a good time to get off all social media platforms, quit them.
Instead go down to your local MAGA campaign office and sign up there.
Always assume everything is monitored by the Feds.
Speak in general terms and hypotheticals.
I remember taking flak here about deciding against going to the Capitol on Jan 6th.
Yes, I understand it's my right to free assembly - but we are not warring with a rational, human system, but "...against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places."
Ephesians 6:12
A nervous 2024 Biden is deploying “surveillance” software on Americans
<><>using the bogus ploy of “Homeland Security” concerns
<><>’problematic sentiment and emotion’ of social media users will be surveiled
<><>the intent is to report them to law enforcement for punitive action......
<><>and no one reported will be a Democrat.
well if it reports a true finding, then that US Government should become a little concerned for their own well being...
They should use this technology on just one particular family and the world would be more peaceful.
Leave the rest of us alone.
Sentimentally speaking, kindly GFY, DHS.
